Alan_R Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I think alot of folk are missing the point. By saying [insert team name] play at a stadium in [stadium location] you are merely finding a loophole. When the clubs still clearly have their names based on surrounding areas. In N.Irish senior football Chimey Corner FC would be a better example. They play in Antrim and are named after a book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 West Brom/Ham?? Aston Villa? Crystal Palace? Leyton Orient? Could all be wrong. West Bromwich is part of the West Midlands Conurbation centred on Birmingham, Frank Skinner says it appears on his birth certificate so he felt he had no choice. Aston is a part of Birmingham proper (Where Aston Martins originally come from) West Ham is on the Hammersmith & City, The area of Crystal Palace in south east London got it's name from the structure built for the great exhibition, And Leyton Orient play in Leyton, East (Oriental) London Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 The battle of Raith was near Kirkcaldy and I believe that's where they take the name from, despite Raith Estate being part of Kirkcaldy it is generally quite a newish scheme so nothing to do with the team St Mirren Named after the patron saint of Paisley, the saint's name was Saint Mirin or St Mirrin (summink like that).

Imeantasong Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Charlton Athletic I wondered about whether this was an area of London, then read this: In the early 18th century, Charlton was described by Daniel Defoe as: a village famous, or rather infamous for the yearly collected rabble of mad-people, at Horn-Fair; the rudeness of which I cannot but think, is such as ought to be suppressed, and indeed in a civiliz'd well govern'd nation, it may well be said to be unsufferable. The mob indeed at that time take all kinds of liberties, and the women are especially impudent for that day; as if it was a day that justify'd the giving themselves a loose to all manner of indecency and immodesty, without any reproach, or without suffering the censure which such behaviour would deserve at another time.
